Question -

How many multiples of 4 lie between 10 and 250?



Answer -

The first multiple of 4 that is greater than10 is 12.

Next multiple will be 16.

Therefore, the series formed as;

12, 16, 20, 24, …

All these are divisible by 4 and thus, allthese are terms of an A.P. with first term as 12 and common difference as 4.

When we divide 250 by 4, the remainder will be2. Therefore, 250 − 2 = 248 is divisible by 4.

The series is as follows, now;

12, 16, 20, 24, …, 248

Let 248 be the nth termof this A.P.

first term, a = 12

common difference, d = 4

an = 248

As we know,

an = a+(n−1)d

248 = 12+(n-1)×4

236/4 = n-1

59  = n-1

n = 60

Therefore, there are 60multiples of 4 between 10 and 250.
